Cuba Día Uno

Día Uno

The day Cuba is free, the help will already be ready.

Donate today to a specific project. The money is held in Switzerland and released only when Cuba has free elections, a multi-party system, political prisoners set free, freedom of expression and full respect for human rights.

Choose where your help goes

Thirteen projects, ordered by urgency based on the island’s current situation. Your money goes only to the one you choose.

From today to Day One

  1. Today

    You choose and donate

    Pick the project: ambulances, water, schools, barriers at railway crossings. Your money goes only to what you chose.

  2. In the meantime

    We keep it in Switzerland

    The fund stays in Swiss banks, with an independent annual audit and accounts published on this website.

  3. Día Uno

    Day One gets built

    Once the conditions are met, we buy and carry out the projects with independent organizations, and show it here.

If there is no transition within 15 years, the fund goes to humanitarian aid for the Cuban people through independent organizations. The money is never handed to a government: it is invested directly in the works.

Every franc in plain sight

Non-profit association

Associazione Cuba Día Uno, based in the canton of Ticino, Switzerland.

Two signatures

No payment goes out without the joint signature of two committee members.

Annual audit

An independent auditor reviews the accounts, and the report is published here.

At most 5% in costs

The committee works unpaid. Everything else waits for Day One.
